Today, I took a restroom break in a Japanese train station. I couldn’t find the toilet flush, so I started pulling on all the available levers. Can some one explain to me why the main alarm lever was in the toilet? FML

"Excuse me sir, can you please come and help me flush my shit down the toilet?" Umm, I wouldn't want to ask that, nor would I ever want to be asked that... It's a normal reaction to try to discover the flush for yourself. Who would want to bring strangers into that kind of business? Anyone would be too embarrassed.

Just in case an octopus decides to jump out of the toilet.

Man, you need an engineering degree to operate those toilets! The instructions take 10 minutes to read!

In Japan here. If it's not on the right side of the tank (facing the toilet) or on a sensor on a part of the wall that you can access (no touch, just an infrared thingie), I suggest you download Google Translate on your phone and use the camera feature to translate the text for you for a future emergency

For someone, like a handicapped person, who might have an emergency, you walnut.

Walnut? Is that some kind of racial thing?
